Kaegi, That's REALLY interesting. Looks like the intake manifold was on the right (as in the flathead), but the exhaust was on the left. And I can't figure out how in the heck the rockers were actuated..... where did they put the pushrods? Do you have any more info on this? Chrysler did a similar thing at the end of the thirties by using a 331 flathead as the basis for a truck diesel. See: https://www.dieselworldmag.com/diesel-trucks/1939-the-first-dodge-diesel/
